Part 4

Why is the idea of "Pay it Forward" important?

I think "Pay It Forward" is really important because you may think what your doing is small but others thinks it a huge thing. It also show people one person can make a huge difference. If you see some donating a huge amount then you don't think you didn't help someone, just think positive and be positive.

Has your act of kindness made a difference?

 

My act of kindness made a difference after donating money and clothes to children and adults. i didn't ask for any in return just tell the person helped to "PAY IT FORWARD"
